My sweet hubby stops by our local grocery store at least once a week and brings home fresh flowers. They are very inexpensive and sometimes I separate them into small vases and place them in different rooms. They bring in the sunshine and color that winter takes away. A constant reminder of the beauty that spring will soon bring.

A great way to have fresh flowers is to force some bulbs. Paperwhites are the easiest bulb to force. First, sit them in the freezer for a week or so. Then just sit them in some decorative gravel and put water up to just over the root part of the bulb. It will take a little time for them to be fully bloomed, but it's cheaper than the florist.

You can experiment with other bulbs, too.

You can grow any bulb type flower in your house, in the winter.
Amaryllis, PaperWhites, Daffodils. You can also 'trick' other flowering plants by the temperature in your house and the humidity level. The flowering plant can be tricked for the humidity level, by spritzing(spraying) the plant with water in a light mist. There are several houseplant sites out there with tips that can help you.

Forced Bulbs are a great way to have spring in your house right in the middle of winter. Just pop them down about halfway in some moist potting soil. Keep them watered and you have tulips and daffodils in the winter. Very nice and very easy.

That' s like asking if you know how to survive in space without any oxygen. Do you know? Didn't think so.
